Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

use the standard features and functions of a CADD program to produce drawings for a specific workplace purpose

apply knowledge of CADD capabilities and uses in a specific industry context.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

CADD equipment and software.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of drawings produced by the candidate

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of CADD features and functions

direct observation of the candidate undertaking CADD work

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

learning skills to improve own skills through feedback and review

literacy skills to interpret and use digital information, including instructions required for the production of computer-aided drawings

numeracy skills to interpret and correctly apply calculations and measurements required for the production of computer-aided drawings

planning and organising skills to plan work tasks in a logical sequence

problem-solving skills to identify and respond to the need for adjustments in drawings

self-management skills to complete work within agreed timeframes

technology skills to use a range of features of CADD software.

Required knowledge

ways in which CADD is used within specific industry contexts

basic principles of CADD

typical features and functions of CADD programs, including drawing tools, view displays, edit functions, working with layers, plotting and printing

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with the use of CADD

OHS issues associated with the use of computers.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Information may relate to:

creative objectives

measurements/dimensions of objects or space

scope for making adjustments

statutory requirements

technical objectives

timelines.

Computer-aided design may be required for a wide range of work situations which may include:

costume or fashion design

layouts:

rooms

sites

stage

lighting plots

object or product design

set design

visual arts projects:

artworks in any form

community installations

public art.

CADD functions and features must include:

drawing tools to support methods for drawing:

lines

arcs
